COSHH LEV Inspections in Stretford

Local exhaust ventilation systems in Stretford protect workers across the area's light industrial, commercial, and service sector premises from airborne substances that can cause serious occupational illness. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 require that every LEV system is thoroughly examined and tested at least every fourteen months, and Safe Lee Inspection & Consultancy provides this statutory testing throughout Stretford. Engineering workshops and fabrication businesses along the Old Trafford industrial fringe generate welding fumes, grinding dust, and metalworking fluid mist that extraction arms and downdraft benches must capture effectively at source. Vehicle body repair shops across Stretford operate spray booth extraction systems that must maintain correct airflow velocities to protect workers from isocyanate paint fumes — a leading cause of occupational asthma. The Chester Road corridor and A56 commercial areas include print shops using solvent-based inks and adhesives requiring vapour extraction, and woodworking businesses with dust extraction connected to saws, planers, and routers. Stretford's food preparation businesses generate cooking fumes and ingredient dust controlled by kitchen extraction systems that fall within COSHH scope. Beauty salons and nail bars across the area increasingly recognise their obligation to test LEV systems controlling chemical vapour exposure. The proximity of Trafford Park means many Stretford businesses provide services to the larger manufacturers nearby and handle hazardous substances in their own right. Our engineers test each LEV system comprehensively — measuring face velocities at every capture point, inspecting ductwork for damage and obstructions, checking filter condition and pressure differential, and verifying that fans deliver their rated performance. We assess whether the system design remains appropriate for current processes, which is especially important where businesses have changed their operations since extraction was first installed. Safe Lee is based in Irlam, adjacent to Stretford, providing the fastest possible LEV testing turnaround for local businesses.
